Three Types of Heat Transfer: Radiation, Conduction, Convection Radiation: Heat that is transfered through empty space Conduction: Heat transfered by direct contact of particles of matter Convection: Heat transfered by movement of hot liquids or fluids Density: A measure of how much mass there is in a volume of substance Convection Current: The flow that transfers heat within a fluid.
